Women disagree about gender ratios
Female enrollment down at women’s colleges, up 1 percent at USC
By Jennifer Erdmann
Staff Writer
Enrollment at all-female colleges around the country is declining, but enrollment of women at USC is up 1 percent from last year. However, only one quarter of the faculty are female and the chair of tne Feminist Council and some students say there is still much to be done to improve the status of women on campus.
Inis year female undergraduates made up 46 percent of the student population and 43 percent of graduate students were female. Last year 45 percent of undergraduates and 43 percent of grad-
uate students were female.
"One very positive thing is that the percent of women has in fact risen," said Ruth Weisburg, cochair of the Feminist Council and a professor of fine arts. "Now wnat we would like is a more evenly distributed faculty."
Figures from 1993-1994 show 25 percent of all teachers, professors and researchers at the university are women and 75 percent arc men. However, other administrators expressed no concern over those figures.
"Remember, USC's dominant schools are engineering and business and those arc historically male dominated," said Deborah Kac of the Officc of Budget and
Planning. "We are getting more women, it's just taking time to catch up."
Prejudice in staffing is an unconscious phenomenon, especially in schools such as En-inecring that are male-ominated, Weisburg said. Nonetheless, she said she believes that women in most programs and departments on . campus are satisfied.
Electrical engineering student Janilla Azarian disagreed, saying she has felt out or place as a woman in her field.
"I walked into a class of 500 where I was the only white female," said Azarian. "It puts me at a disadvantage right off."
The prejudice against women isn't obvious in the department, Azarian said.
"With so few women in the department it just made it harder for me to find a gap to fit into," she said.
Weisburg suggested claims like these might oe helped if a Women's Center was set up o i campus. Plans for such a center were approved by the university but were never implemented.
USC docs sponsor an Office of Women's Issues under the office of the Vice President for Student Affairs that deals with crimes against women and discrimination, but Weisburg said she (See Women, page 5)
Class puts I.R. theory into practice
Students gain real-world work experience through community service
By Victoria Manley
Staff Writer
A group of students in the School of International Relations is getting a chance to put their theories into practicc through a class designed to allow them real-world experience in their field.
Approximately 60 international students have been participating in "International Relations in the Workplace," a unique course in which community service and meeting speakers from the professional world are a part of the curriculum.
The course is led by Professor Steven Lamy, who volunteers extra time to introduce various
speakers to the class.
"Everyone is very appreciative for Professor Lamy s effort," said Vasilios Aronis, a senior majoring in international relations. "There is a wide range of great speakers tnat represent to us tne real world."
The course focuscs on teaching students what skills are needed to have a successful career in international relations, as well as presenting the various career options that are available beyond college, Lamy said.
'This class gives the students a sense of what is available out there," Lamy said. "But it's not just about careers, though - it's about servicing as well."
Fifty percent of the grade in this course requires students to involve themselves in community service, from teaching elementary school students aoout business to organizing an international relations conference for high school students.
"It's not one of those dasscs where students can just sit down and listen, we think of it as definitely a collective effort," said Linda Cole, Associate Director of International Relations.
Cole, one of the people who created the course two years ago, said the class is designed to guide international relations students in utilizing personal skills in their field ot study.
'This course is helping students think about what they can really offer to international relations,' Cole said.
"There is no limit in the industry to what they can do, but without that off-campus knowledge, it's hard for students to find out what they can do," she said, The class has grown throughout the years ana the enrollment has jumped from 12 to 60.
Many students said they were attracted to the class because of its uniqueness and the opportunities available to them.
"The class opens up many opportunities available in international relations," said Shannon (See Lamy, page 3)

USC Coach George Raveling retired on Monday.
to leave after eight years

The automobile accident that nearly cost men's basketball coach George Raveling his life cost him his career as he announced his retirement on Monday through a prepared statement.
Raveline's attorney and longtime friend Jerry Roth read the statement before members of the news media in a hastily called press conferencc at Heritage Hall.
"I do not believe that remaining on as head basketball coach, while not fulfilling my professional responsibilities, would be fair to tne University, the student body, my coaching staff and the players, a portion of the statement read.
USC Athletic Director Mike Garrett announced after the statement was read that associate head coach Charlie Parker would assume the duties of head coach for the remainder of this season.
"It's a real sad moment for all of us, I think George has a place in all of our hearts like no one I have ever seen," Garrett said.
Although Raveling opted not
to address the media in person, he did deliver the official news to the team after practicc on Monday morning.
"We had a meeting this morning and Coach Raveling came up and met with the team," Parker said. "It was very, very emotional. I don't think there was a dry eye in tho room."
"I woke up today expecting for it to be a regular practice, senior Lorenzo Orr said. "And the way the practicc ended, with him telling us about his retiring, it hurt. It was shocking."
In the statement Raveling also ruled out, for the time being, any chancc of returning to collegiate basketball's coaching ranks.
"As I have previously stated, it has been my intention to conclude my college coaching career at the University of Southern California. The present state of my physical condition has brought me to this point sooner than I had expected.'
Raveling suffered nine fractured ribs, a fractured pelvis, a fractured clavicle and a partially collapsed luma; in an automoDile accident on Sept. 25.
